Description

Avast Internet Security brings peace of mind to those looking to stay safe while browsing, banking, or shopping online. It’s designed to protect you from spam, phishing scams, fake emails and websites, malicious downloads, and other web-borne threats. It also offers an additional layer of ransomware protection, to make sure no one steals your files.

We use artificial intelligence and big data to give you — and our 400m users — real-time protection from viruses, ransomware, Trojans, and other nasty malware

An extra layer of ransomware protection for your most important files and photos, which blocks untrusted apps from changing, deleting, or encrypting them

Malware is most commonly distributed through spam or fake emails. Avoid harmful messages and attachments, so you can focus on emails that truly matter

Our Sandbox allows you to isolate apps in a safe environment and experiment with them before you let them run on your PC, to make sure nothing harms your files

By using our secure DNS (Domain Name System) settings, we protect you from hackers who try to redirect you to fake sites and steal your banking details

Network issues make it easier for hackers to get in. Use Wi-Fi Inspector to detect and fix weaknesses, and to spot strangers piggybacking on your home network

No need to remember all those complicated passwords. Just lock all your accounts with a single, secure master password, and use it freely on Android and iOS too

Our Game Mode feature automatically puts all Windows and Avast notifications on hold, so you get maximum processing power and speed for gaming

Browsers can become cluttered with toolbars and add-ons, without you even noticing. We’ll help you get rid of extensions you don’t need, want, or even knew you had

Security updates and new features are pushed to you automatically, so you’re always protected from the latest threats without having to lift a finger
